Anna Vakili, 35, shot to fame after appearing on the show in 2019 - but she failed to find love in the villa.
Yet her path to true love in the real world and on-off relationship with boyfriend Cowslick hasn't been smooth either.
Just weeks after calling time on their love - due to his reluctance to propose - it seems things are back on.
It comes despite the fact she admitted he had "hurt" her and a "more relaxed" girl would suit him better.
In a teaser for the next episode of her podcast Sisters In The City with sister Mandi Vakili, aired on TikTok, Mandi teased "the tea" Anna had dropped.
Anna then said: "Cowslick is back," seemingly confirming their romance.
Mandi admitted: "A lot of madness has happened and the tea has been spilled."
Yet fans appeared less than impressed about the reunion.
One took to the comments section to post: "I don't wanna hear about it respectfully."
One fan urged her to get over him as another put: "Ffs the way she says it with a big smile."
A third confessed: "I screamed nooo when i was listening to the ep
again."
One bluntly put: "If this is true, embarrassing."
Another mused: "She will never learn."
In March, Anna told the same podcast of her split with Cowslick.
Love Island winners - where they are now
EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more.
Here we take you through all of the Love Island winners so far and what their relationship statuses are now:
2025 - The second series of All Stars saw Gabby Allen and Case O'Gorman scoop the crown. STATUS: Still together.
2024 - The summer Love Island saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan were crowned the winners. STATUS: Broken up.
2024 - The first ever All stars spin off show was won by Molly Smith and Tom Clare. STATUS: Still together.

2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up.
'Yeah basically me and Cowslick have broken up,' Anna said at the time, causing her sister to burst out laughing.
'Why you laughing?' Anna questionned, and her sister responded: 'It's like an announcement. I feel like there's a press conference.'
Anna said it felt like 'deja-vu,' and said she felt 'so sad that it'd come to this.'
Anna got candid on the podcast and said she wouldn't sit there and slate her ex Cowslick, but confessed he had 'hurt her.'
'I don't think he's a bad person, I just don't think I'm the right girl for him,' she added.
Continuing: 'A girl that is more easygoing would suit him.'
NEXT STEPS
Anna recently posted a photo in a hospital gown, and revealed she'd completed her first round of egg freezing.
The star told fans: 'My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner! I was never really that maternal so I went along life not thinking about it.
'Only in the last year it really hit me that I should consider taking some measures to ease some of the pressure that so many women go through when it comes to our fertility clock.'
Anna has also opened up on her relationship on the Not My Bagg podcast, while chatting to host Joe Baggs.
She said her partner had refused to propose, despite her wanting him to, and explained: 'Some people expect an engagement in about a year or two.
'I left mine because of that. That's the reason why we broke up, it actually went viral on TikTok.
"I said 'I'm ready now, what's going on?' I actually mentioned it a year ago as well. I'm not going to wait that long, it's been three and a half years."
She reinforced her view when she revealed she had dropped out of the last series of All Stars Love Island at the last minute.
She explained that even though she went through the whole process to appear on the ITV2 show - including multiple meetings and STD and drug testing - it wasn't for her again.
Looking for serious love, she told fans that she decided against it saying "the kind of man I want to settle down with wouldn't really want a woman that's going on Love Island."

Britain's Royal Mail celebrates Monty Python with stamps featuring iconic sketches and characters
And now for something completely different: Britain's Royal Mail has issued stamps celebrating the absurdist comedy of Monty Python. The 10-stamp series announced on Thursday celebrates some of the troupe's most iconic characters and catchphrases, from 'Nudge, nudge' to 'The Lumberjack Song.' Six stamps depict scenes from the sketch-comedy TV series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' including 'The Spanish Inquisition,' 'The Ministry of Silly Walks," 'Dead Parrot' and 'The Nude Organist.' Another four mark the 50th anniversary of the cult classic 1975 film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' including one showing the limb-losing Black Knight insisting, ''Tis but a scratch.' The stamps can be pre-ordered from Thursday and go on sale Aug. 14. Made up of Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman, Monty Python brought a unique blend of satire, surrealism and silliness to British TV screens in a series that ran from 1969 to 1974. The troupe also made several feature films, including 'And Now for Something Completely Different,' 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' and 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.' David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs, said the collection 'honors a body of work that has shaped the comedic landscape for nearly six decades.' Palin said he was 'very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!' The group largely disbanded in the 1980s, and Chapman died of cancer in 1989. The five surviving Pythons reunited in 2014 for a string of live stage shows. Jones died in 2020 from a rare form of dementia.

Tis but a stamp: Royal Mail set celebrates Monty Python favourite scenes
A set of 10 stamps from Royal Mail will pay tribute to 'one of Britain's most influential and enduring comedy troupes' – Monty Python. The main collection of six stamps celebrates characters from Monty Python's Flying Circus, the BBC TV series which ran from 1969 to 1974 with sketches so popular, generations of fans can still recite all the lines. The stamps showcase highlights including the Spanish Inquisition, the Ministry Of Silly Walks, the Lumberjack Song, the Dead Parrot Sketch, Nudge Nudge, and Spam. Formed in 1969, Monty Python was one of the UK's best-known comedy troupes, made up of comics Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Sir Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam. Presented in a miniature sheet, and in honour of 50 years of the cult 1975 film, Monty Python And The Holy Grail, a further four stamps celebrate the film. Scenes featured on the stamps include The Black Knight's defiant ''Tis but a scratch!', King Arthur and his knights receiving their divine quest, and Sir Robin's encounter with the Three-Headed Giant: 'You're lucky, you're not next to him!' Sir Michael said, with a reference to a character from Monty Python's Flying Circus: 'Very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!'. David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs and policy, said: 'Monty Python has left an indelible mark on global comedy, all while remaining unmistakably British at its core. 'From their groundbreaking television debut to a string of iconic films, this stamp collection honours a body of work that has shaped the comedic landscape for nearly six decades.' The group followed their TV work by making a series of films including 1979's Life Of Brian, the story of a man who was mistaken for Jesus; and 1983's The Meaning Of Life. Idle, 82, created the medieval musical Spamalot, which earned a Tony award for best musical after its Broadway run. Chapman died of tonsil cancer in 1989 aged 48, while Jones died from a rare form of dementia in 2020, aged 77. The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are available to pre-order from August 7 and go on general sale from August 14.

Paddy McGuinness and his ex wife Christine 'are struggling to sell their £6.5M Cheshire mansion' after she was left 'fuming over the price tag'
Paddy McGuinness and his ex wife Christine are reportedly struggling to sell their £6.5million Cheshire mansion. The couple separated in June 2022 but have continued to live together in the house for the sake of their three children. And now The Sun reports that he pair have had 'very little interest' in the property in the past five months, with a source saying it's overpriced even for the posh area. It comes after The Mail On Sunday reported in March that Christine was left 'fuming over the price tag' of the home as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell. A source told The Sun on Wednesday that Christine is 'unhappy' and wants to move out. They also told the publication: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest. 'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Representatives for Paddy and Christine have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. In March Christine was left furious after husband Paddy put their marital home on the market for the £6.5million price as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell. Her friends at the time feared that she would have to continue living with the former Top Gear host for 'the foreseeable future' because buyers will be put off by the cost of it - which is a staggering £4.4million more than what they paid for it in 2020. 'It is so overpriced, Paddy doesn't want to sell which seems like another tactic by him. 'It's insane that Paddy would put the house on the market for that much, they only bought it five years ago and house prices have hardly gone up at all since then,' said an insider familiar with McGuinnesses. 'The house is on for two thirds more than what they paid for it, it will never sell. It all feels a bit like Paddy wanting to control the situation and keep Christine living in the house with him for longer. 'Christine made it clear that she can't live with him anymore but now it looks like she will have to for a long time yet.' In an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, Paddy recently discussed his living situation with Christine and intimated the pair would continue staying under the same roof. He said: 'Yeah, still the same. It doesn't feel tricky. I think it would if you lived in a toxic household - God forbid.' Asked how their unique living arrangement works, Paddy added: 'If I'm at home with the kids it's great. If I'm working and Christine is at home with the kids, that's great. 'If we are there together, that's fine. As long as my children are happy, that's all that matters to me.' The mansion features its own gym, a huge kids playroom containing soft play equipment, his and hers dressing rooms, an orangery and a kitchen diner. Its seven bedrooms have six en suite bathrooms and the house has been described by estate agents handling the sale as 'tailor made for hosting family and friends'. Paddy, 51, is hoping to make a £4.4million profit after purchasing the home for £2.1million back in 2020. He and Christine spent months renovating the property before moving in to cater for the needs of their young family.
